Question:
May Allah bless you. This questioner says: Is it better in al-Masjid al-Haram and al-Masjid al-Nabawi, when the prayer is called for, to enter the closest row or to move forward to complete the rows until the imam bows?
Answer:
Yes, moving forward to the front of the rows is better as long as the imam has not yet bowed; because moving forward is required, and it is better than staying back, yes.
